I think I'd find out what the facts were before I got all worked up about it... I can't see why they'd keep people out of there after they've been put up... and if they were going to try and keep you out I don't know how they could ever enforce it. I would be pissed if they tried to oust me from one of my spots.... but with the prices of energy these days... I have to rule on the side of moving forward toward alternate sources rather than these acient methods we use now that have kept the same people fat and happy for too long.

Thumbs down

Like you, I think we should be developing new sources NOW!
I also think that when all is said and done, it will be the same
group that will be fat and happy.

For all interested parties, the following link is
useful. (Not that they're impartial either!) But, they have many basic facts on wind power worth
reading.

Well we need to figure out what we are going to do!! We can't continue the way we are going!!

I am for the wind farm as long as they can do it and do it right!!

But that said I know a guy that put a wind mill in his yard about 25 years ago.

He said he always has power and the law makes the big company buy any extra he makes, But even with all that he said that the up keep was crazy!!

He says he has been able to have electric free all these years, but all the money he made from the big co. buying the extra was consumed by repairs and maintenance and that it really isn't worth the cost and he would not recommend any one do it!!

Hopefully, the industry has learned a lot from forward thinking folks
like your friend.
I hope the unit one would install today would be a lot more
advanced than they were 25 years ago.
I bet that being that far ahead of the curve had some ugly surprises
and must have been a real pain in the butt.
A tip of the hat to your friend.
